Elephants, it turns out, can learn to paint, creating beautiful, deliberate figures by holding a brush in their trunk. If you think art is only something to be created by the select, “gifted” few, you might want to think again.
How do you create art, in whatever form?
I place natural objects…flowers, shells, feathers, etc….on the scanner and become an artist. Anyone can do it…probably even the elephant!
I’m not going to answer… I am just wanted to say the phrasing of this question got a second read from me…
How we know that Elephants aren’t gifted artist? What makes humans think they only do art because they are taught to do it?
Just seemed a little presumptuous to me.
